16 year old Nigerian weightlifter Chika Amalaha has been
stripped of her Commonwealth Games gold medal after failing her drugs
test. She won the 53-kilogram division last week making her the youngest
ever female to win a title at a Commonwealth
Games but unfortunately a few days later, she tested positive for
diuretics and masking agents.
Commonwealth Games Federation announced today Friday August 1 that her B sample also showed traces
of the substances amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide, both of which are
banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency...and said they will look into how she had access to the banned substances.
